JennaRay Rufin

JennaRay is a DONA-trained Birth Doula, currently working towards her certification. Her role as a doula is to provide physical, emotional and educational support throughout the labor and birthing process. She has completed the BEC Professional Doula Series, including VBAC for Doulas and Breastfeeding for Doulas. She has observed HypnoBirthing childbirth education and plans to complete Rebozo Certification later this year.

JennaRay became intrigued by the birth process when a close friend introduced her to HypnoBirthing in 2014. During her own pregnancy, it was a no brainer to seek a HypnoBirthing education for herself and the birth of her son. She achieved a natural birth using the HypnoBirthing techniques she learned at the BEC. JennaRay was diagnosed with PMADs (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) in pregnancy and postpartum. She became passionate about maternal mental health and the concept of ‘mothering the mother’ after birth in order to minimize and normalize mental health challenges facing pregnant and postpartum families. She is passionate about childbirth education and informed decision making. She truly enjoys guiding families on their journey to a more educated, empowered, and ecstatic birthing experience.
